A few years back a member had a similar problem, and detailed his experience. I can't remember his username, but his name was Mike, and he was fairly active at the time.

Short answer - they're not the same. Have fun.

I fitted the import locker to my Aussie MH [note using the standard carrier]. The axles needed were different lenghts and larger diameter

Yes from memory the housing is the same but the right side axle is 7mm longer than the left.
What I don't know is if either side is the same length as the lsd axles.
That's why I like the ARB lockers both axles are the same and are easily picked up 2nd hand for under $200.
I remember someone here having to buy one new from Mitsu as he just couldn't find a 2nd hand factory locker axle cost him $700-800 from memory.
